Abstract

Various naturally occuring, methylated amino acid derivatives were resolved on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), usingo-phthaldialdehyde as a fluorogenic reagent.

We separated ε-N-monomethyllysine, ε-N-dimethyllysine, and ε-N-acetyllysine from lysine derivatives. NG-Monomethylarginine and NG-dimethylarginine were separated from arginine derivatives. However, ε-N-monomethyllysine and ε-N-trimethyllysine, NG, NG-dimethylarginine and NG, NG-dimethylarginine were not resolved under the conditions employed. S-Methylmethionine, S-methylcysteine, and 1-N-methylhistidine or 3-N-methylhistidine were clearly separated from their reference amino acids, even though 1-N-methyl- and 3-N-methylhistidine could not be separated.
